National Skip School Day

National Skip School Day takes place on December 2 in the USA. This is a favorite holiday for schoolchildren! True, he did not receive official status, because teachers do not approve of him too much. However, they know about it, remember it and use it with pleasure!

History

Who founded the National Day is not known for certain. There is a version that its origins occurred on the Internet. On the service for viewing and creating short videos, TikTok, someone posted a video calling for skipping school on December 2, 2019. The idea was picked up by other users and added their materials. The idea went viral!

Despite the general joy of high school students, the day did not resonate with teachers and directors. The teaching staff admits: the holiday does not interfere, because few people decide to skip classes without asking – schoolchildren warn in advance about their absence, without naming the exact reason for the absence. You can get used to this, and strengthening the date at the official level is not beneficial to anyone.

Fun facts

• During the National Skip School Day frenzy, one person started a petition to support the students. Not many signatures were collected – about 300 pieces;
